EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS, we are transported to London's iconic Trafalgar Square on October 5,2004. Standing proudly amidst the bustling cityscape is an extraordinary sculpture known as "Rp5Dribfkhaa" crafted entirely from a staggering 30,000 bananas. Created by London-based artist Doug Fishbone, this unique artwork was unveiled to the public on Tuesday. The sculpture's purpose transcended mere aesthetics; it served as a thought-provoking social experiment. As part of Fishbone's vision, members of the public were invited to participate in dismantling the artwork and take away its constituent bananas for free. The act of deconstructing such a monumental piece symbolized breaking down barriers and challenging conventional notions of art ownership.

Against the backdrop of Trafalgar Square's historic architecture and vibrant energy, "Rp5Dribfkhaa" stands tall as a testament to human creativity and imagination.
